Her death exploded like a bomb on Monday (16/1). Gina Lollobridgeta has breathed her last at the age of 95 after a fractured thigh which ultimately proved fatal for her.
Her career actor legend of the known as “La Lollo” had “taken off” in the golden age of Italian cinema and in particular in the period of “neorealism” and the first collaborations with well-known directors such as Pietro Germi and Carlo Lizzani.
To the general public, Gina Lollombridgeta became known mainly with the play “Bread, Love and Imagination”, which was filmed in 1953, directed by Luigi Comecini and co-starring Vittorio De Sica.
In the 1970s, as reported by the Athens News Agency, she played in the highly popular TV movie “The Adventures of Pinocchio”, in the role of the fairy, directed by Luigi Comencini and co-starring Nino Manfredi. The Italian and international press has always presented Gina Lollobrigida as a competitor to the other famous diva, Sophia Loren.
In 1999 and last year, the Italian actress ran for the European Parliament and the Italian Parliament, without being elected. In recent years, at the same time, her son, Andrea Skofic, had accused the artist’s secretary of exerting undue influence on her and had taken away a number of valuable assets. She herself, in a series of television interviews, insisted that she was completely lucid and the related legal process is still ongoing.
